About this map

Milton and the surrounding Autauga County countryside appear here in the early 1980s, characterized by a complex network of waterways feeding into Mulberry Creek. The landscape is dotted with small rural communities such as Evergreen, Bonita, and Winslow, while landmarks like Dawson Mill and Walkers Lake indicate the localized industry and geography of the era. The terrain rises to significant points at Parker Mtn and Ivy Hill, providing a clear view of how development followed the natural ridges and valleys.

Energy infrastructure is prominent across this rural stretch, with several pipelines and a transmission line cutting through the woodlands. Resource extraction is also evident near the center of the sheet, where clay pits are marked near the banks of Little Mulberry Creek. This map captures a specific moment in Central Alabama's topography before more modern expansion, preserving the locations of numerous family-named branches and creek crossings.
